What Joe Schmo does is bring up the photos on the screen on the back of his
crappy camera and shows them to someone.
Whatever the Frontier does, it will do in in the best way for that process.
As big as a name that Fuji has with the Frontier, it's just really another
high volume low cost process like a Noritsu or soemthing. Most printer
software is complex and would be, were it available separately, hideously
expensive, making PS look like chump change.
